Mini Guide To Phuket
Are you planning your cheap holidays to Thailand? If so, let me please introduce you to Phuket. Whether it's world class diving in the Andaman Sea, golf at world-standard championship courses or exciting eco-adventures in tropical forests, Phuket is a place to extend your horizons.
Best Accommodation
Phuket is an island jam-packed with luxury resorts, but the $64,000 question is: 'Which are the best?' Ok, let?s start with the best then. Renaissance Phuket in Patong Beach, Andara Resort & Villas in Kamala Beach and Cape Sienna Phuket also in Kamala Beach.
Sightseeing in Phuket
Phuket Half-Day Safari Tour: It's fun for the whole family on this half day combination tour on Phuket island. Admire the unspoiled scenery from the back of an elephant and canoe the calm surrounding waters.
Nightlife in Phuket
The sex tourism sector in Phuket is nowhere near the scale of that found in Bangkok or Pattaya but it is still an attraction for a large number of visitors. You do not need to be an active participant to go to the go-go bars. Couples, families and tour groups mingle with the sex tourists wandering around the bars.
Dinning in Phuket
If you love food, you will love Phuket. There are restaurants to suit every taste serving a huge selection of western and Asian food. The variety of cuisine and dining experiences is one of the major attractions of the island. You can eat breakfast at your hotel, lunch at a local noodle stall by the roadside, and have dinner with fine wines in a sophisticated air-conditioned restaurant.
Weather
Year-round temperatures on Phuket vary between 21-34C. Water temperatures range from 26-28C, which means wetsuits are not necessary to enjoy water sports. The northeast monsoon season, roughly November till April, brings consistently sunny weather, cool breezes and low humidity, with moderate seas.
Safety Issues
Don?t go swimming if you see red flags flying and check conditions carefully if no warning flags are present. Even if the waves look manageable, there may be strong ?rips? lurking under the surface. If you do get caught, don't try to fight against it; swim parallel to the beach until you are out of the current and let the waves bring you in.
